Re-terminate Pure Note Paragon

Another option is to buy another Paragon used 2 or 3 Meter XLR set and connect them together with the pair you already have. XLR cables are great for this because no coupler is required.
I know that connecting cables together is supposed to be a no-no, but when I have had to do this, I could not tell any degradation in sound quality.

Semi: If you like the sound of Pure Note cables, what is the risk? The Vanguard cables sound very close to the Paragons, actually a little better in the highs. They also use the same connectors. Rather than argue your case here, see what Pure Note will do for you.

Stringreen, thanks for the offer. I have Anti-Cable speaker cables and they are not the easiest cable to work with due to their stiffness. I also notice Anti-Cable shrinks the soundstage a bit and reduces the air around each instrument when compared to my other speaker cables. Almost like the difference between a big speaker and small monitor kind of differences.

Sonic genius, I know Pure Note does offer custom lengths at a higher price, sale price does not apply to custom length and no refund is allowed either. When I bought my Cerulean many moons ago, 5 meter was an option and I could have returned them if I didn't like them during the 30 day trial period. Now I either have to order a short one just to try and return it for a longer one if I like it or return it if I don't.

Semi: They do custom lengths. I have a 10m pair of Vanguards.

I have a long pair of Anti-Cable xlr balanced interconnects if you want to try. I needed still longer ones for my new house. let me know

thanks for the info. they don't make anything longer than 3.5 meter now and I need 5+ meter from my pre to power. not sure why they limit themselves to 3.5 meter and why they would not help customers re-terminate, I am sure it can be done even at a premium charge.

Been there, done that. You cannot re-terminate Pure Note cables. Once you cut them, there is nothing to work with since it is wire in multi-aircore tubes. Not a conventional cable where you can just strip the wires. They also use a machine bonding process that cannot be done by hand. Don't ruin them, just sell them and buy longer cables. Their new stuff is better any way. FWIW :)
